Sorry for taking so long, but I finished it. This one-shot is a little bit more surreal and magical since I wanted to keep the magic carpet.
It was a few hours to midnight. A few pebbles thrown at a window awoke a young redhead named Nagisa.
"Okay, okay. I'm coming," Nagisa said, rubbing her eyes.
As soon as she opened the window, her eyes opened wider upon seeing what was on the other side.
It was her lover, Shizuma, mysteriously floating.
"Good evening, sweetheart," greeted the older girl.
"Shizuma? What the—how are you doing that?" Nagisa asked, very perplexed and nervous. She rubbed her eyes again, this time in disbelief.
"It's a magic carpet," she answered, "I thought it was a regular one at first, but I saw it floating after I left it alone for a while. So, I assumed it was magic. Oh, the things you find."
"Cool. A magic carpet," the younger girl marveled at the carpet and played with its tassels. Noticing how impressed she was, Shizuma had an idea.
"Do you want to go for a ride?" the older girl questioned.
"What?"
"Well, it's pretty fun. Plus, we can see what Japan is like at night," she persuaded, "What do you say?"
Nagisa was looking a bit hesitant, "I don't know…"
"Do you trust me?" interrogated the silver-haired girl as she extended her arm and offered her hand.
Nagisa, without a moment's hesitation, grabbed her girlfriend's hand.
"Yes, I do."
Almost immediately after the redhead got on the carpet, it immediately brought the two girls up to the sky. To keep herself from falling, Nagisa held on tightly to Shizuma until the fast part was over.
The carpet brought them over Tokyo, which was full of blinking lights that appealed to the human eyes. The couple admired this pretty sight. Shizuma turned her head slightly to admire Nagisa. She took her by the hand and gazed at her as they flew.
Shizuma:
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
They flew over by Tokyo Tower, which Nagisa had never seen before until now. She liked it.
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
The two girls went up into the sky where the clouds were. The city was getting smaller and smaller from their view.
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Nagisa:
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
Shizuma and Nagisa passed through a giant cloud and found themselves carrying tiny clouds, which they then let go into the sky.
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Shizuma:
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Nagisa moved a little bit closer to the front and spread her arms like the wings of an airplane. Shizuma went behind her to help keep her arms steady; just like in Titanic. The birds flying near them were shocked to see humans flying in the sky.
Nagisa:
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
The carpet began to descend a little abruptly, causing Nagisa to cover her eyes. The silver haired girl quickly her girlfriend's hands from her eyes, making her see that they had just passed Mt. Fuji.
Shizuma:
Don't you dare close your eyes
Nagisa:
A hundred thousand things to see
Shizuma:
Hold your breath, it gets better
Nagisa:
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be
They were flying just over a lake, waving to a nearby couple in a boat, who looked a little bit surprised and confused, but waved back anyway.
Shizuma:
A whole new world
Nagisa:
Every turn a surprise
Shizuma:
With new horizons to pursue
Nagisa:
Every moment gets better
Shizuma and Nagisa:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
The carpet slowed down over a nearby river.
Shizuma:
A whole new world
Nagisa:
A whole new world
Shizuma:
That's where we'll be
Nagisa:
That's where we'll be
They looked at each other's reflections in the water.
Shizuma:
A thrilling chase
Nagisa:
A wondrous place
Finally, they held a gaze towards one another. And it was adorable.
Shizuma and Nagisa:
For you and me
The couple pressed their foreheads together and intertwined their fingers as the carpet that carried them floated over the flow of the river.
Afterwards, they were flying on their way back to the window of Nagisa's room. Shizuma was hugging Nagisa from behind, giving her tiny, ticklish kisses on the back of her neck.
"I never had an experience like that before, Shizuma," said the redhead.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg, darling. If I could show you the skies of Japan at night, just imagine what New York, London, or even Paris would look like. But that's for another time."
"I can't wait."
The two girls were now at Nagisa's window. Although Shizuma didn't want to say good night to her lover yet, it was very late and both of them really needed some sleep.
"Good night, Nagisa," said Shizuma as she kissed her goodnight.
"Good night, Shizuma."
After that, Shizuma started to fly away. But the magic carpet decided that this was not good enough and quickly brought the taller girl back to Nagisa's window. The younger girl was just about to close it when she saw her girlfriend back.
"Shizuma?"
"Looks like I'm not ready to say good night to you just yet," answered Shizuma as she stepped inside the shorter girl's room and kissed her deeply, making her blush. The magic carpet took that as a signal that it should go home for the night and went vamoose.
"…Well, maybe you can just stay here tonight. It's pretty late," proposed Nagisa as she embraced the older girl.
"Yeah…I should stay here tonight…"
The two girls made their way to Nagisa's bed and slowly tucked themselves in as they kissed one another ardently.
